A lot of bad decisions happen because the brain wants emotional closure faster than factual clarity. When uncertainty feels unbearable, even the wrong answer can feel like relief.

Abhijeet Dipke's real agenda finally came out 🚨

Question - Now that the protest is over, why don't you raise questions against reservation as many students are asking for it?

Abhijeet - That's not my headache. Now the government should deal with all it's issues

Reporter - If that's not your headache, then how was this NEET protest your headache? Students are the one suffering in both cases

Abhijeet - I don't think population based reservation is anything wrong. It should be there. If SCs are 15% of the population, they should get 15% reservation

Reporter - Then why not apply the same logic to paying taxes? If SCs are 15% of the population, should they also pay 15% of the total tax? Why should the general category pay all the tax? Shouldn't everyone contribute according to the same population logic? Would that be fair?

Abhijeet just made the same sad face he keeps making after losing every debate. Give her a raise man 🙏

@Sharemarkettime Not to forget that cia agent was arrested in march. Maybe there are external forces trying to collapse the government as the new fcra changes are being made.
P.s. these are my personal views.

This Protest Was Planned in Advance

Let me be clear—I am not saying that the issues themselves are fake.

The government has failed on several important issues, including repeated paper leaks, poor road conditions with potholes, the Ram Mandir theft, and other governance failures. These are genuine concerns, and the government should be held accountable. It cannot remain silent on such matters.

However, if you look closely, something else was happening over the last 3–4 months.

Social media appeared to be running a continuous campaign around potholes and Nitin Gadkari. Almost every reel showing damaged roads or potholes went viral. At the same time, even if 6–8 new roads or highways were inaugurated in a month, those received very little attention, while a single pothole video spread everywhere.

Yes, if roads are in poor condition, it is absolutely the government's responsibility. But it also seemed that the algorithm heavily amplified content critical of the government.

As a result, these genuine concerns—such as E20, potholes, and governance issues—became deeply embedded in public discussion.

Then came the paper leak issue, followed by the creation of the CJP account.

Within just four days, it reportedly gained around 20 million followers. That naturally raises questions. If the movement had such massive support, why did the growth slow down later, even though it became a nationwide topic?

The group then organized a protest at Jantar Mantar. Based on the atmosphere on social media, many expected a huge crowd, but that did not happen. The first day of the protest was largely unsuccessful.

Later, Sonam joined the movement, but it still did not create a major impact.

Around the 13th day, things changed. Influencers suddenly started posting about it, political parties extended support, and the movement became much bigger. Even then, I believe the BJP underestimated the situation and failed to start a dialogue with the protesters, which was a mistake.

Then came the incident where Sonam was removed from the protest site, followed by the "Chalo Sansad" campaign for July 20.

The BJP still seemed to believe that nothing significant would happen.

Instead, hundreds of thousands of people turned up. Many of them were ordinary citizens who were genuinely frustrated and wanted accountability. At the same time, I believe some groups had objectives that went beyond the NEET issue. From my perspective, they used a legitimate public grievance to strengthen a broader political movement.

The subsequent lathi charge was also wrong.

Now, videos are circulating that appear to show some masked individuals throwing stones at the police, similar to tactics seen during certain violent protests in the past. If these videos are authentic, those responsible should be investigated separately from peaceful protesters.

In my view, this time a genuine public issue was raised, but some of the people leading the protest were not focused only on NEET. I believe their broader objective was to create instability and weaken the current government, drawing comparisons with movements seen in countries like Nepal and Bangladesh.

Again, this is my interpretation of the events.

From my perspective, much of this appeared to be planned in advance. At the same time, the campaign successfully shaped public opinion against leaders such as Nitin Gadkari, Dharmendra Pradhan, and even Prime Minister Modi.

So, my conclusion is that while the issues themselves were real and deserved attention, the larger movement appeared to have been strategically planned.

At the same time, the BJP also bears responsibility. It failed to respond to genuine public concerns in time and did not consider it necessary to answer the public's questions. Had there been greater accountability and timely dialogue, the situation might not have escalated this far.

Imagine telling someone in 1999…

The year is 2026.

The President is Donald Trump in his second non consecutive term.

The richest man in the world is PayPal cofounder Elon Musk… but not because of fintech or Paypal. Because of rockets, electric cars, AI, satellites, brain chips and something called “Boring Company”.

Apple is worth trillions but its main business isn’t computers… its selling glass rectangles everyone stares at for 9 hours a day.

People don’t watch TV. They watch teenagers explain geopolitics, finance, and relationship advice in ~60 second videos.

The biggest taxi company owns no taxis.
The biggest hotel company owns no hotels.
The most powerful media companies are social networks where everyone argues with strangers for free.

Kids are making millions filming themselves playing video games.

AI Robots write emails, code, legal memos, songs, essays, and breakup texts.

The internet is mostly bots arguing with humans who are trying to prove they aren’t bots.

You can summon a car, groceries, a doctor, a date, a private jet, or a dog walker from your phone.

People pay real money for invisible currencies, digital monkeys, AI girlfriends and pictures that disappear after 24 hours.

The richest companies in the world don’t sell oil, steel, or cars. They sell attention, compute, data, and addiction.

And somehow, after all of that everyone is still using Excel.

Be boring.

Wake up early, go for a walk, get sunlight, brew some coffee, read books, spend time with friends and family.
